AMMAN — Jordan has witnessed a clear decline in international aid as the
Russia-Ukraine war has drawn the attention of donor countries to European
refugees, leaving behind a crisis that has lasted for over a decade in the MENA
region, Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya said on Wednesday.

Faraya
made these comments during his address at the 40th session of the Arab Interior
Ministers Council (AIMC) in Tunis, which saw the participation of Arab interior
ministers, high-level Arab security delegations, and representatives of Arab
and international bodies and organizations.
The
minister highlighted the role that Jordan has played and is still playing as “a
vital partner in addressing regional and international crises and their
repercussions and as a pillar of regional stability, and a home for refugees
seeking security”.
The
Kingdom, he said, hosts approximately 1.3 million Syrian refugees, more than
half of whom are not registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees.
Despite
its limited capabilities, Jordan has provided those seeking refuge with
security, education, healthcare, and a decent life, in addition to offering job
opportunities, he said.
In
this context, Faraya called on Arab countries to “consider the conditions of
their refugee brothers in light of the difficult conditions that our region is
facing”, pending a political solution in Syria that “ends this humanitarian
catastrophe and preserves Syria's unity, cohesion, and sovereignty, and
restores its security and stability to create conditions that allow voluntary
return”.
